I know Abramovich has been sponsoring sports in Russia recently and was even involved in politics there, but I thought he came to London in the first place to run away from Putin. Apparently, he is still very good pals with Putin. That may account for the mysterious death of Berezovsky who died immediately after the court case with Abramovich (although he lost the case). British intelligence may have found out that Abramovich is a Trojan horse working for Putin and that's why they're trying to get rid of him.

Fantastic! Naija man and tori no be today e start.

Let's be clear, Abramovich NEVER ran away from Putin. In fact, he is one of Putin's boys, i.e., the pre-Putin Oligarchs who agreed to play ball. While others were either jailed or exiled, Abramovich was elected governor of some rural area.

Ever heard of Putin's enemy, Berezovsky, who "committed suicide" in London while in exile? Putin arrested his friend and imprisoned him under harsh conditions, then sent Abramovich to Berezovsky to convince him to sell him (Abramovich) some pricey assets for peanuts, in exchange for his friend being released. He agreed (thinking he was selling to Abramovich), after which Abramovich promptly turned them over to Putin....and I don't think that friend was even released

This is public knowledge....came out in court when the late Berezovsky sued Abramovich for a breach of contract.

By the way, Berezovsky himself was the primary Oligarch that supported Putin's ascension, despite being warned by others of the potential consequence. He though the tail would never wag the dog...not knowing that Putin was the Big Dog, while he and others were just parts of the tail

Good points. It's possible Berezovsky revealed info that was too close for comfort during the court case and that made the Russians wary that he'll reveal more to British authorities, so they decided to get rid of him. Essentially he became a threat to certain persons regardless of whether he won or lost the case. They waited until after the trial as it would've looked too suspicious had he died during the case. Abramovich's visa problems may be due to whatever was revealed about his relationship with Putin in that court case and the current strained relationship with the Kremlin. All speculation of course.

Rumor now has it, that,Roman Abramovich could emigrate to Israel after the UK failed to renew his visa.

he doesn't really need to emigrate to Israel, unless he has a falling out with Putin. Or unless Israeli citizenship grants him certain benefits. And was a governor of Chukotka region in Russia for 8 yrs.

You are really dumb and uninformed to equate Israel to war. Try to visit only for once to change your dumb perspective and stop spewing ignorance here. Disturbances in Israel are 99% in palestinian areas.

mcal, if only you realize that TTTK is Jewish, then you might stop arguing.

Roman Abramovich will be allowed to visit Britain for up to six months at a time after gaining Israeli citizenship, Downing Street confirms - but will be barred from working for Chelsea FC while he is in the UK

Quote:

a spokesman for Theresa May confirmed holders of Israeli passports are allowed to visit Britain for up to six months under a waiver scheme.

Under the rules, Israeli visitors are not allowed to work or live in Britain. Immigration enforcement officers police the rules and could act if Mr Abramovich was known to be working at Stamford Bridge or engaging in activity to run Chelsea while in the UK.
